The honor of being a 'Pasteurian' does not pay rent, certainly not in Paris…

Fingers crossed for today's negotiations with @institutpasteur

[Manuel Ares Arroyo @M_AresArroyo]

For the past two years, we have been working on a novel approach to identify origins of transfer by conjugation in plasmids from any bacterial species.

We are thrilled to see this work now published in @NatureMicrobiol after thorough peer review!

Fantastic PhD Opportunity on plasmid-phage interactions in Manchester with @c_igler and Mike Brockhurst👇also: the time in Germany would be spent in my lab

[International Society for Plasmid Biology (ISPB) @PlasmidSociety]

Make sure you don't miss it! 🤓

Should I stay or should I go? 🎶
In a new opinion piece, @c_igler, Andrina Bernhard and I discuss how conjugative plasmids and temperate bacteriophages balance vertical and horizontal transmission: https://t.co/ZEqTzsgDiV

Our framework illuminates many sides of MGE biology (1/7)

1/8. 𝐧𝐜𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐬 often fly under the radar... but they're vital in bacteria-phage conflicts & beyond. Curious 𝙬𝙝𝙮!? 🤔

Here, we dive into their immune roles, plasticity, and discuss their hidden potential! 🧬🚀
